This track was under a shed on my dads barn. When we get a good rain it blows under and gets the ground wet. We got rain last Thursday so the tracks were left sometime since then. It's obviously not bird, we killed all the dinosaurs out last year and Yotes have five toes and don't have a split pad. I think it might be from one of those "Hissin Critters" as I call them. Don't know what they are but folks have been seeing them for several years around here.
(Artist Rendition, but not quite it.
I am trying to find the photo they have of a skeleton.
This is in Oklahoma.

"Michael,
I just got back from a hunt down in Mexico. Shot a 150 class 9 ptr. I'll send pics later. Was talking around the campfire with a guy that has been hunting this 49,000 acre ranch for 28 years. He was telling me about a wierd animal they have been seeing down there. It looks like a dog, but with cat teeth. It has a hyena build, very powerful looking and they think they have heard it take down calves before. He said it has stripes in the front half, but not the back half of its body."
Indians called it Shunka Warakin
I talked to my brother today and got a little more information.
He said the head on Pat's drawing is closer to correct. The tail length he said is closer to Bill's but not quite as long and a bit more bushy. He said most of the ones he has seen hold the tail straight out too.
He also noted they have a "hump" on the back above the shoulders and the front end/shoulder area is bigger and more powerful looking that both drawings portray. He also stated all he has seen have long shaggy hair "similar to a buffalo" on top of the back in the shoulder area. He said all but one was about the color of a bear (black with dirty brown mixed in). He said all but one of his sightings were in the winter time except one summer sighting and the color of that animal was red like a Irish setter. He noted that it could be the difference in a summer and winter coat that was responsible for the color variation between winter/summer.
I think since the first reports originated here in the Kiamichi's, it would be more plausible that these animals are spreading in all directions from here. Reports of these animals are coming in from Arkansas, Texas and now as far away as Mexico. Also I don't think this is the same animal as the Chupacabra. Descriptions (most) of that animal are of a two legged winged creature. These animals we speak of have been sighted here in Southeastern Oklahoma for around ten years now. I received a report from a trusted friend this morning that his brother had shot one a few years back and could only describe it as "some sort of strange Hyena looking thing".... The shame of it is he left it laying where he killed it, but that's nothing more than the typical mindset of Southeastern Oklahoma.... "If you can't eat, drink, smoke or screw it, then **** on it"...
I doubt this is it but i thought i would throw in the mix anyway.

I forgot to add that this is in Uruguay, South America.
I don't care what the other folks think or say, but here is what the woman that brought up the subject allowed on it...
Hello, Timberghost
I showed your pictures to the caretaker - she says the animal looks like the one she saw, except ours had an S-shaped tail.
Here's her story: one evening she was sitting at home when the neighbor's cows started bellowing loudly. The dogs started barking, and she let them out, only to see them race back in five minutes later.
This is very unusual, so she went out to investigate and saw a large animal by the barbecue barrel, licking the grill. It was the height of the picnic table, with wide shoulders, narrow hindquarters and short hind legs - shaped like a huge hyena. It walked away when she turned the outside lights on.
Our neighbor has seen it on a few ocassions, too, as has the alambrador, who says it is very fierce and can deal with several dogs at once.
Several comments from the thread. More as i find it
